Oh goodness...
Tough question this time!
I am all in support of adding a Millenary to your octagons. You have some incredible 8-sided bezel pieces to choose from, and the oval Maserati Dual Time would be a wonderful compliment.
That said, I just replied in your Montoya post about how that watch was the springboard for AP's aggressive Offshore designs. None went further than the Survivor in this regard. So if I had a chance to grab a nice Survivor over the Maserati right now, I would suggest doing so to you. The Maseratis do come up now and then, and Survivors too, but adding the latter will really cement your Offshore collection. There is nothing beyond it and the others you would "need".
Later I'll see if I can add some photos for you.
Remembering the Millenary Maserati Dual Time
In 2005, AP launched a splendid Millenary timepiece to commemorate the 90th anniversary of the automakers company founding. The Limited Edition watch was offered in three case metals - stainless steel (900 pieces), rose gold (450 pieces), and platinum (90...
Ah, but this is my cup of tea, Michael
How thoughtful of you to remind us of this beauty. :-) I never noticed the guilloche inside the power reserve indicator before. Yet another fine detail to admire on this watch. There is much to love on this one. It is one of my two or three favorite Mille...
Not sure I should show you this...
You and I like similar teas ;-) Another piece we will revisit again in time. Cheers, my Friend. ...
You're killing me, Michael!
Well, that is my all-time favorite ROO. I hope you return to the Survivor soon. Thanks for that inspirational photo. Best, respo
Funny. I remember this one very well, saw it several times, in the flesh.
An eye catcher, but once on the wrist... Pffff; nothing more...Maybe due to the shape of its case? Surprising... Best, Nicolas.
Nope, I am not buying the case-shape reason...
As I know of another oval you are very fond of ;-) (me too, of course!). Well, as I wrote, it is a polarizing piece. I feel the dial is hit or miss with most. Thanks for your reply, Nicolas.
A very cool Millenary.
I remember seeing one in NY when they were released. Thanks for sharing MichaelC. JerryW
This watch reminds me of the millenary chronograph
as both have asymmetric variably sized subdials, with the chronograph using the space on the left of the dial for the tachymeter rather than the power reserve seen here. I can speak more specifically to the chronograph as I have one, but both are kind of ...
Agreed Stewart.
The Millenary is a very interesting line. Some of AP's best complications are housed within the oval. Appreciate your input.
Nice subject MichaelC . . .
The Maserati Millenary isn't seen too often but always evokes a response (and usually favorable!). Thanks for posting the wonderful photos of this very cool AP watch. Dan
Great to see you here Dan.
I happen to like polarizing watches, very much so in fact, and the Millenary Maserati is definitely within that realm.
Thanks for the write up...
It is a beautiful dial. I had the pleasure of having lunch with Octavio during my factory tour in Nov and. Iam anxiously waiting for you to publish the interview soon... This, Ovi
I should have those wrapped up next week.
It was an intriguing conversation, and one that left me very excited...
MichaelC, I saw this piece today too
With so many ROO / RO, this piece is worth getting or go for the Survivor? Love to read all your posts...

The quest for AP beauties will never stopped...
The Millenary Maserati may be next, Survivor is beautifully presented, seen one before, years ago but unreachable without the necessary funds...
You have to buy the car now!
It is a watch I like even if I much prefer my 4101. But the dial lay-out has a lot of energy and takes advantage of the oval shape. Thanks for the pics! Fx
